Assignment: Design a product that can improve everyday life.
I designed the Rolling Stool-box as a final design project for my ENP64: Methods for Human Factors Engineering class. We were tasked with designing a product that could improve everyday life, and I decided to address young children roaming about their homes.
The process to ideate the product included surveying, creating personas, analyzing work flow, anthropometrics, and CAD modeling. The final product is a stepped stool with wheels (that lock under weight, like a library stool) that children can drag around the house. The write-up also details a companion app that includes features such as "listening mode" and "lock mode", which allow parents to monitor their children remotely.
